CALL FOR A CONVENTION.

Rally round the flag, boys;
Rally once again.
Lets have River Convention
composed of river men?
When the enemy were camped
near by, Washington's orders were,
" Put none but Americans on duty,
tonight" How oft the venerable
Fathers would repeat the words, and
speak Of the wisdom, prudence and
patriotism embodied in them. The
practice Of those virtues made us
what we are, and will make the river
navigable, and the valley tenable.
Navigation OF the giycr and recla-
nation of the valley are one and IN
separable, aud there are so many
indispensable consid, ratiohs involv-
ed in a faithful solution of the sub
iect, uone but the directly interest
ed can ever become masters IN the
premises.
IN confirmation OF my text, pro-
pose partial review of what has
been done, aud how 1t has been done
Hon. Casey Young, member of
Congress from West Tennessee, was
the author of the Bill for the crea-
ton of A River Commission. In his
bill, he provided for two civilians -
river men, free holders, taxpayers,
directly interested in the navigation
of the river and the enhancement or
reclamation of the valley. This bill
passed the House by Hattering ma
jority, but the Senate could not ac-
sept this feature - two men that had
drank muddy Mississippi water all
their lives appeared to be the drown
ed mouse in the b'ittesmilk. They
then patched one from it providing
for but one civilian, and gave the
President the pleasure of making the
appointment. The President caring
as little for the right man ios the
place as the Senate, seizes the oppor-
tunity for further political aggrand-
izement; looks over the field, aud
decides to tickle General Harrison
with this nice place, and then Gen.
Harrison could give a big tickle
back when he wanted further pro-
motion.
Then the Grand River Convention
at Washington, conceived, brought
forth and administered for the inter
est of this commission of river doc
tors the pills prepared for the Con-
yention IN the shape of Resolutions,
which were readily swallowed with
out looking 1T the formula; whether
mineral, vegetable, homeo, or aqua
pathy? and yet their real mission
was to see that they were strictly
Aqua-duot.y. And how were these
delegates chosep2 This same Res
olution Manufacturing Company
wrote 10 the Governors Of the States
to send delegates. Tie governors,
also born aud nursed ON political
milk, jumped at this golden oppor-
tuuity for profitable swap in Pop
ular Boost; they ran to the State
houses; consulted the records and
found the names of such as had been
lucky enough to get into the legisis-
tive balls, and tickled them with ap-
poiutment, in the hope that the bread
thus cast upon the waters would re-
ssrn ;g dye time.

ploughed with forked stick, and
all this time boasting of their genius.
Early in the history of man, some
inventive wheel wright philosopher
conceived the idea of an inclined
plane, and decided that very low
fore-whee and high hind wheels
would catch onto the philosophy and
run itself, The world looked upon
this brilliant conception with admi-
ration, until few years ago, when
two neighbors broke the fore wheels
of both their wagons and were com
PEELED to splice; by the force of this
unavoidable extremity, the practical
philosophy was caught that the high
er the center, or axis, above the cb-
stacle, or fulcrnm, the more sur
mountable.
When first commenced keeping
batch, l was seriously troubled with
the mice getting into my bread-t tray,
but being exceedingly ingenious, in
little less than six months the
thought struck me to turn the tray
bottom side up on the table; true,
this may have been inspiration; Jim
Guessrig declares it was.
What could be more absurd than
to expect anything practical from a
people 50 far gone to vanity that a
candidate for the Presidency expects
to enhance his chances of election
by an extraordinary display of dress?
Then, the zeal manifested by the
reporters, running with their back
loads of stationery, to scrutnize and
specifically report all the puiis and
bangs, cut-aways and come-aways,
and just how many inches of the
red handkerchief tagged out of the
pocket, proves an imbecile retro
gression at the Capitol and The East.
That the people partalIe of the man
ncrs of the Court has been a gum
wax trite for thousands of years.
Then if the Court will not act pru-
IDENTITY, then the more reason why
the press should. Fifty per cent. of
the innumerable army ofyouug men
that are now sacrificing themselves
to puff and smoke, is chargable to
the free advertisement given by the
press to Gen. Grants cigars.
No high school education, nor
congressmen's vocation will ever
guide us to success in this widely
compre ehensive beniiicence, cnntrm-
plating the developing aud utilizing
Loi this vast area of aque ct terra IN
cognito, to far-away ella sizes. The

WHERE THE GEORGE VOTE WENT.
New York and Kings counties are
com plete and 948 election districts in
the state outside of those counties
give Cook 324,533, Grant, 283, IA; /;
Huntington, 1924; George, 59,-
313. The same precincts in
1885 gave Governor Hill 345, ,1S3,
Davenport, 312,138; Bascom, 5,3Ol.
This appears to indicate that of the
Henry George and the increase in the
Prohibition vote 40 900 has been drawn
from the Republicans and 20, 700 from
the Democratic party.

BLACK BADLY DEFEATED.
The most significant feature OF to-.
days election in Chicago was the re-
suit of the contest for the Superior
Court Judgeship against the magis-
trate who tried the Anarchists.
Joseph E. Gary was pitted against the
attorney most prominent in their. de-
Tense, Capt.W. P. Black. The vote was;
Gary, IS, $40; Black, SIP. Less than
two weeks ago Representative G. G.
Dixon, spokesman for Captain Blacks
estimated the vote for the
Anarchists lawyer would be perhaps
10000. From the outlook at that time
Mr.. Dixon declared that the most un-
favorable possible condition of public
sentiment would be shown by vote
of 5000. He explicitly stated it Was
the expectation that upon the result
Of the election as reflection of the
of the people of Chicago
would depend to some extent the
action of Governor Oglesby regarding
the condemned Anarchists. s

POWERFUL PETITION.
To BE Presented TO Governor
Oglesby TO-day.

SPRINGFIELD, November S.-This
afternoon members OF the Legislature
who favor executive clemency
for the condemned Anarchists, en-
deavored to lay petition before the
Governor, in which they say that
while abhorring the principles of all
Anarchists, they believe that public
policy, good order and the ends of
Justice will best be served by COM
mutation of the sentence to imprison-
ment for life. If, in view of finding
the bombs in Lingg's cell, this does
not seem right they pray for re-
prieve of thirty days, for a thorough
investigation of the matter in order
also that public opinion may have
time to develop. The Governor will
hear the petitions and also Captain
Black tomorrow.
